ABSTRACT

My invention is solely designed to save lives and to help to protect property from severe damage. It is designed to withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees F. It will slow or even stop airflow inside the wall cavities. This in turn will give families to have more time to escape the structure without getting hurt or even losing there lives. This will also give firefighters more time to arrive on the scene. Soon, I hope to have my invention lower insurance rates to the homeowners and business owners. With less air moving in the wall cavities it will reduce the spread fire and smoke. This procedure is called fireblocking. My units are made of .024 gauge galvanized sheet metal with a G-60 coating. It will be very easily installed and inexpensive. These units are designed to be installed between each stud of a wall. These units will be used in future new construction and remodeling. These are codes approved by the Codes Inspectors and the Fire Chief here in middle Tennessee.

The following is a description of my invention:

-   -   (1) Retractable aluminum fireblocking/fireproof     -   (2) Easy to install so that one man can do this in a fraction of         the time.     -   (3) Aluminum will restrict fire longer so the firemen have extra         time to arrive     -   (4) Slows and even stops airflow in the wall cavities.     -   (5) Easy to drill holes for electrical and plumbing     -   (6) Insulators only have to make one cut to fill the wall     -   (7) Can meet with the architect to have them all made and on the         job site when the wood arrives 

1) This invention is designed to save lives. 2) To save on property damage due to fires. 3) These units will slow or stop airflow in wall cavities. 4) To cut down on smoke damage. 5) To allow more time for occupants to escape the structure. 6) To have units to allow more time for firefighters to arrive.
